11/28/2024 12:00 AMIt’s December, and “The Month of Giving” is in full swing! At the Community Foundation of Middlesex County (CFMC), we are busy reviewing grant requests for vital programs and services provided by local nonprofits. We are also helping donors personalize their charitable gifts to support what matters most to them.
At CFMC, we try to make it easy for anyone, including you, to be a philanthropist, regardless of the size of gift or area of interest. You can make a gift that doesn’t need wrapping paper, bows, or a pretty ribbon. And you can give your gift today or any time throughout the year. Here are just a few ideas to help you give a gift which is sure to touch so many in our community.
When it comes to gift-giving through CFMC, it is as unique as you are. You can make a gift in a loved one’s honor which supports what matters to them—such as arts and culture, community development, education, health, human services, animal welfare, and more. You can make a gift which helps address immediate needs such as food insecurity, or you can invest in the future by supporting education or positive youth development. Perhaps you want to support seniors and veterans, recreation, mental wellness, or our furry (and feathered) friends. When pooled with the resources of other like-minded community philanthropists, your gift will have an amazing impact for generations to come.
The best part? As a community philanthropist, you don't have to approach giving alone. Invite your family, friends, or employee teams to come together to make a difference where you live, work, and play.
Every month feels like “The Month of Giving” at CFMC as we see the great things which happen when we work together. We are fortunate to know so many caring and generous neighbors and friends throughout Middlesex County who give the gift of time, talent, and resources—gifts which keep on giving and improve the quality of life for all. Every gift, every act of kindness, every time a neighbor pauses to do that little “something extra” makes a real difference in our local community.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity. We are humbled and happy to help you put your heart and contribution to work in your own distinctive way. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be grateful—to you!
We invite you to learn more about how your gift will keep on giving back and help our community thrive. Give us a call at 860-347-0025 or send an email to info@MiddlesexCountyCF.org to get the conversation started. CFMC is proud to be accredited with Community Foundations National Standards, the nation's highest and most rigorous standard for philanthropic excellence. We are thrilled to share all the great things which are happening because of good people like you. Happy holidays and peace to you and yours from all of us at CFMC!
